It starts with an itch you just can't shake. Then comes a fever and a tickle in your throat. A few days later, you'll be blabbing your secrets and chatting with strangers like they’re old friends. Three more, and the paranoid hallucinations kick in. And then you're dead.
When a deadly virus begins to sweep through sixteen-year-old Kaelyn’s community, the government quarantines her island—no one can leave, and no one can come back.
Those still healthy must fight for dwindling supplies, or lose all chance of survival. As everything familiar comes crashing down, Kaelyn joins forces with a former rival and discovers a new love in the midst of heartbreak. When the virus starts to rob her of friends and family, she clings to the belief that there must be a way to save the people she holds dearest.
Because how will she go on if there isn't?
Well, first of all, I love me some dystopia, guys. Truly. It's like a morbid fascination of mine. Moreover, I like it when it could very be real...because it's even more terrifying, I think. The Way We Fall sounds like it has a touch of Contagion to it, as well as a love story that may very well be like that of post-apocalyptic novels. Come on...who can resist that? Here's to hoping this one is as excellent as it sounds!
Freaky! This definitely sounds like a must for dystopia fans.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this title around the WOWs last week. Excellent pick, it sounds interesting =)

Nice pick! This one's on my wishlist too. I'm really excited to read it :)
ReplyDeleteI sure cannot resist any dystopian novels and this one has all the trappings of an exciting read. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteUm, yes to dystopia!!! And this book sounds crazy scary/awesome. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
ReplyDeleteYES! Me too! Love these types of books!! Crossing my finger for Netgalley!
ReplyDeleteStill easing into dystopian. I like paranormal reads the best, but there are some dystopians that mix it up with some paranormal. Might look at this one if I get the time!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

OoOoo this one sounds GOOD. And holy awesome book cover! Adding it to my to be read list :-) Thanks Melissa!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. This sounds awesome. I must add this to my list. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this one, but I think I really like disease-based Dystopians. Which sounds not so nice when I say it out loud. At any rate, I'm adding this one to my TBR list.

Wow! This one sounds awesome!!!! Thanks for putting it on my radar!!
ReplyDeleteI agree--I love when dystopian books have premises that could actually occur! It totally ups the creep-factor. :P Great choice, Melissa! Looking forward to this one.

Truly Bookish
I'm definitely looking forward to this one as well! The disease angle makes it a bit more realistic, I think, than some dystopian/post-apocalyptic reads.
ReplyDeleteI look to you for all things dystopian so I will look for your review of this one. It sounds familiar in some way.
